My Ruger M77 in 280Rem for my primary rifle using handloaded 160gr Nosler Partitions. I bring my Marlin .444 along with me as well if I'm going to be still hunting in thick woods where I might get a quick "jumpshot" as it's open sighted. I've had very good success with both out west where I...

Substitute "BBQ" for "Dress" and you'll understand what he's looking for...

I guess if I had a true BBQ gun it'd be my nice little S&W Mod 10!

It was "45 day" at the range! That's my great uncle Tom's issued WWI(made in 1914) 1911 which he took to Europe with him...and more importantly returned! The others are a Gold Cup and my "Franken 45" which is a Colt NM barreled action on an Essex frame. I've all intentions of porting it...

Having spent most my summers as a kid in central Texas(Brownwood/Golthwaite) and going to a LOT of BBQ's(including our own cooked in a literal pit covered with a wagon)....I never felt the need to be armed!lol! A few BBQ's I would have liked to have shot the pitmaster for ruining a perfectly...

The key part of "Concealed Carry" is the "CONCEALED". Both physically and verbally.

My "Go to" is my .280 Rem; 54gr IMR 4350. 160gr Nosler Partition. CCI Large Rifle primer. Pushes around 2900fps Very nearly 7mm Rem Mag velocity. My Ruger M77 loves it. It's been the only round I've hunted with in that rifle since 1988. MOA out to 200, just over at 300 but has taken a...

I had a sig 1911 in 9mm. Nice pistol but didn't shoot it much so gave it to my SIL.

My new EDC. Taurus G2C. 12 round 9mm and very comfortable to carry IWB on my hip. Very small print. So far after a couple hundred rounds, accurate and very reliable.

It was 9mm day. Trying out the new load. 115gr XTP over 6.0gr V-N350 Nice load! Worked well in all three.

My rifle range days are quickly coming to an end. #1 because of the cool weather and #2 because the range is now crowded with people sighting in their rifles who obviously normally don't shoot. Went out this morning, it was 40deg. Last week at the same time it was 10 deg warmer and only two...

I'm 54 but as a child of the 70's and 80's who split my formative years between Wyoming and Wisconsin, I well remember going to friends houses and seeing the traditional deer, elk or waterfowl engraved glass doored cabinets with hunting rifles and shotguns in them. The "lock" was a single small...

Just a quick sidebar; This forum has some of the most intelligent members I've seen in such places. I appreciate everyone's input here and it's obvious the posters here are very knowledgeable regarding your local, state and national regulations. I've been to other boards and read mostly...

Shot one of mine two weeks ago. Decided to add a period correct Weaver K3 scope to it! The newer .444 still sports iron sights though. Love those rifles!

My Taurus G2C and S&W 642. Joined a closer indoor range for pistol work. I don't mind going out in the cold to shoot my rifles but it's just not as enjoyable to be standing in the wind trying to manipulate a handgun in 40 deg weather. Plus going early on a weekday morning keeps me away from...
